Fantasy Tip: There's still no guarantee that Manuel will be the starting quarterback once the season begins as the Bills are indeed expected to be in the quarterback market this offseason. If he does start, Manuel should be considered no more than a fantasy backup.

Free-agent QB Josh McCown (Buccaneers) is having contract negotiations with the Buffalo Bills, but it is not known if the Bills are the leading candidate to sign McCown, according to a source.

Fantasy Tip: McCown could compete with EJ Manuel for the starting job if he joins the Bills. McCown probably would only be considered a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy drafts next season if he won the starting job.

Fantasy Tip: Buffalo is still certainly in need of a quarterback, but Bradford seems to be staying in St. Louis. Nonetheless, both Bradford and whoever the starting quarterback will be for the Bills should be considered no more than fantasy backups in 2015.

Fantasy Tip: The Bills are expected to look for tight ends this offseason, and Clay may be the best one available in free agency. Clay saw a small dip in his stats in 2014 but still caught 58 passes for 605 yards and three touchdowns. Clay likely would be a low-end No. 1 fantasy tight end if he joins the Bills.

Buffalo Bills coach Rex Ryan is excited about QB EJ Manuel, as he told reporters Manuel "has some potential", but the club is still looking for a long-term signal caller.

Fantasy Tip: Manuel's value goes down as long as the Bills search for a new quarterback continues. Right now, he ranks no higher than a QB3 in most leagues. In short, not a solid starter and not even a quality backup for your roster.

Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan said finding a quarterback is easier said than done. Shortly after Ryan was hired, he said there were no guarantees at the quarterback position, simply saying that QB EJ Manuel would get a chance to compete.

Fantasy Tip: No matter who is at the helm of the Bills' offense next year, they probably won't be a reliable starting option in fantasy football. Look elsewhere while drafting your quarterback.

Free-agent QB Josh McCown (Buccaneers) visited the Buffalo Bills Monday, Feb. 16, but did not leave with a deal. McCown still has future visits scheduled, so a deal could still get done.

Fantasy Tip: McCown still wouldn't have a ton of fantasy value if he does sign with the Bills. He wasn't a worthy starting fantasy quarterback with the likes of Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans, so it's hard to imagine him being more successful with Sammy Watkins as his best receiving option.
